Take a map because it´s a little bit difficult to find the hostel but then everything was perfect :) (many showers with hot water, many sofas where you can have a nap when you have to wait for bus, large equipped kitchen)

Nice location, not exactly in the Old Town but just about 5 mins away so very convenient. Close to the trams and buses to get to the Tallinn Bus Station. Nice rooms and clean bathrooms, and very affordable. The staff are really friendly as well, and had loads of fun going to see live music and pubs. The common areas... More

Stayed here in October 2012, and any time I think of my stay there it makes me happy - Monks was an awesome hostel! Brilliantly designed, having the reception/bar in the middle of the common room means you'll be chatting and making friends the minute you check in. Perfect for everyone - those who want to chill can relax on... More

Average place and a bit disappointing due to high ratings on hostelworld. Everything about this place is just average. The rooms are cold and no curtains so people in other buildings can see into room. Blankets are very thin as well as pillows. Staff is a mixed bunch. Some are very friendly and others aren't very helpful or condenscending. The... More

I was told this place is fairly new and still under renovation so, I did not have high expectation. Unexpected, everything was fine! Hostel in on the 1st & 2nd floors. Beds were comfy, fast wifi, private lockers and well equipped kitchen. Also it is clean and at a good location. 5-10mins walk to the Freedom Square. Showers were great... More

They are able to provide just about everything: great cheap meals, nice kitchen, excellent bathrooms, cheap beer, towels, and much more.
